"How much longer 'til we're there? This is taking forever!" It has been two years since our appointment with SEND International to the Croatian camping ministry. We were hoping to be able to fly to Zagreb in January, but it didn’t happen. Some days are tough; we feel like we are living in limbo and we question why it is taking so long to get to Croatia. Most days though we have an incredible sense of peace that we are right where God wants us. Living in the missionary housing in Cambridge has been a blessing. We have met some wonderful friends, been stretched out of comfort zones, grown in our faith, and strengthened our relationship as a couple and family. We have shed more of our possessions and realize we really can live with a lot less stuff. And it has been great but...
We want to be in Croatia! So last weekend was especially exciting as four different families let us know that they would be supporting us monthly! WOW! This, in addition to Bloomington Baptist Church, individuals, and families who partnered with us in late December and January, leaves us at 87% of monthly support. We are pumped yet overwhelmed at your generosity and sacrificial giving. What a joy your prayers, support and partnership are to us!
